Okay so earlier today I was reading a post about eating eggs, made me realize I hadn't had an egg in quite some time.. This stayed at the back of my mind all day at work. I got home, took out, heated and ate my dinner (had prepared it yesterday) which was a 60g piece of chicken... Next thing I know, I was eating a scrambled egg! Don't even remember consciously deciding to scramble the egg!

First attempt at a blog
· Vicki3007 · 01/19/2013 07:01
Ok, so this is my first ever attempt to blog.. so here goes..
I am 26 years old, originally from India but been living in UAE since age 5.
I have had a weight problem all my life, I was always the chubby kid, the fat girl, the obese college student etc. Guess I just got tired of being a two dimensional character, of being defined by my weight.
I wanted people to know me, the real me, so after years of dieting, attempting to exercise and still not losing weight or losing weight only to gain it all back plus some, I decided on surgery.
I got sleeved on 30/10/2012, at the time I weighed 129kgs, today I weighed myself and my current weight is 112kgs.
Surprisingly enough, I haven't had a lot of trouble with my diet, only threw up once, and that was my own fault for eating too quickly. After the first 2 weeks I was able to manage semi-soft food just fine and now can easily manage a small piece of grilled chicken or fish.
Haven't had carbs since the sleeve though, sometimes really miss bread.. though all I have to do at those times is pull out my largest pair of jeans and try them on in front of the mirror and see the difference in my shape. I have dropped almost 3 jeans sizes, which is absolutely fabulous as far as I am concerned.
Hmm what else? Protein was initially very difficult, had been given those really nasty protein powders that I absolutely could not stand let alone have 3 times a day, looked everywhere for an alternative and finally found a clear protein drink which is much more palatable at least to me. So the drink gives me about 40g protein as day and the rest is from my diet which is almost exclusively chicken and seafood..
I get cold very quickly since surgery, so have learned my lesson and go to work all bundled up.
Telling people about the surgery is something I've been rather conflicted over, I've told people at work and close friends I really trust, but not relatives or family friends. It is sometimes difficult to explain away my limited portions but usually just say that I am on a diet.
Guess that's all for now, sorry my thoughts are all over the place, not a writer by any stretch of the imagination
Cheers!
